Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): engine problem, honda hs50, air mixture


Question
I have a honda hs50 snowblower with a g200 engine. The engine runs smooth when it ideals but when i move the throttle to a faster speed it runs rough and it seems like it is running to rich. I cleaned the carb and made sure that every port was clean and adjusted the carb air mixture screw to 1 1/2 turns.

Sounds like you still have carburetor problems you may try changing the spark plug and make sure the choke is not sticking,also your governor linkage may be loose missing or the springs may be stretched or in the wrong holes. These are a few things to check. Try adjusting the mixture more towards the lean side. when it runs rich means you are not getting enough air mixture from the emulation  tube,try cleaning that as well,sometimes cleaning wont get out all the crude.
